Manufacturer’s Description

Ruger‘s 9E is a full-size semiauto pistol built on a black, glass-filled, nylon grip frame, and chambered in .9mm. It’s a low-cost version of Ruger’s SR9 pistol, costing roughly $100 less. Like the SR9, the 9E’s features include:

• An accessory rail;
• three-dot sights;
• a reversible backstrap (flat or arched) you can change without special tools;
  

  The 9E from the right.

• an ambidextrous thumb safety; and
• an ambidextrous, D-shaped magazine release.

To cut the 9E’s cost, Ruger:

• Reduced the machining performed on the slide with fewer, wider grip serrations, smaller sight dovetails and a non-rounded slide top;
• offering only a black oxide finish on the slide instead of a semi-gloss black nitride finish; and
• eliminating the loaded chamber indicator in favor of a small visual-inspection port.

In addition, the 9E comes with only one magazine, no loading tool and a cardboard box (instead of a plastic case).
